hooray-anime:thegirlwhocriedfoxface:(x)Never have I hit reblog so quickly.I cant wait to see the meme comics of thisThis is a great idea, and it’s easy to appreciate what the artist was trying to do, but there are a few things that made me wince.Firstly… Holocaust Princess? Really? I can understand wanting to include Anne Frank, but you called her HOLOCAUST PRINCESS?!Second… Malala’s hair. Malala keeps her hair hidden, she’s wearing a garment specifically for that purpose. Now, I don’t personally know if this is deference to local cultural norms or something that she personally has feelings about, but I don’t think it’s appropriate to forcibly expose her in such a manner.Third, Jane. Jane Goodall is badarse. Jane Goodall is a scientist who went out and did what nobody else was doing in order to collect her goddamn data, and she used what she learned to determine what needed to be done to save our cousins, and then she dusted her hands off and started doing it. I can understand that this project involves glamourising the ‘princesses’ but why, why would you dress Jane in such an impractical outfit?! Why would you give er a teeny tiny skirt and push her breasts up in a cleavage-exposing sparkle top and pose her like she’s trying to look alluring while hiding high heels that hurt her feet?! She is Jane freaking Goodall! Even as a princess she should be in pants, and standing up because the only reason to kneel in the jungle is if you’re trying to hide yourself and observe something for too long to crouch.As for Marie Curie… I actually think Marie was done pretty well, even though seeing her actually smile feels weird to me. She never used safety equipment so I have no problem with her holding the beaker in her unprotected hand like that; I think this looks pretty cool. I just wanted to note that everybody drags out Marie Curie as if she’s the only influential scientist. You ask about female scientists and hers is the first and, often, only name you hear; if you push people for another, you might get an uncertain mention of Jane Goodall or Rosalind Franklin. There are thousands of awesome lady scientists, many of whom changed the face of science even more than Marie (although they didn’t clean out on Nobel Prizes doing it, props for that one). I mention this because if there’s gonna be a science princess it might be cool to feature somebody new.tl;dr: this is a cool concept but I have a problem with a few of the art choices. -- source link
